    "The Alchemist" is a novel written by Brazilian author Paulo Coelho in 1988. It tells the story of an Andalusian shepherd known as Santiago and his journey of fulfilling his "dream" which he names his "Personal Legend". Throughout his voyage, he met many different people and was forced under many different circumstances, and we are able to experience his emotional states throughout every part of his journey. He undergoes many revelations, and we could argue he becomes wiser and more aware of the spiritual value which everything in the world possesses. He ends up finding his "Personal Legend", but despite actualizing his "dream", he was a victim to the negative emotions that come with being human, and therefore we could argue that the main conflict in "The Alchemist" is within Santiago himself.

  • Conflict In The Alchemist

    911 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the start of the novel, he is perfectly complacent with life as a nomad, with very little monetary worth. He has no qualms about marrying a girl he just likes and has met once, and prides himself for his reading abilities and understanding sheep. His whole identity is centered around sheep and not much else. He lacks life experience as anything other than a shepherd. Even though he has traveled along the land of his home country, his view of the world is limited to where his sheep can travel. After the events in the book, and the final resolution to the most important conflict, he has an entirely new focus and perspective. He has someone he truly loves, he has traveled to lands so far away he has to learn a new language to adapt, he has a deeper spiritual connection to the world, more than his relationship with his sheep could ever provide. Because of his solution to the conflict of making a choice, he develops as a character and becomes well-rounded as a person. Even if he never found the treasure in the end, he still would have been successful in resolving the conflict because of what he achieved and learned, because he no longer fears taking risks for the sake of something larger than himself because “fear of failure” was the true antagonist of the novel. The most important conflict in The Alchemist is Santiago’s choice between going after the treasure and settling; and his solution to pursue the treasure is successful not only because he acquires the gold at the end of the convoluted journey of a rainbow, shaped by fate and followed through belief, but also because throughout it all, he starts his adventure as a boy, but ends it as a

    A journey is a composition of music. Different instruments come together to play different strings of notes that harmoniously combine to create a symphony. Santiago, the main protagonist from the Alchemist, experiences many symphonies on his road to realize his Personal Legend. His experiences guided him to his goal and when he had finally achieved it, the story came to a close. The ending of the novel was (opposite of unexpected) and satisfying. Paulo Coelho left his audience with a satiating end to a long story. The ending of the story fitted perfectly with the book because it enhanced the idea of the Soul of the World, the cycles of life, and overall these ideas all came with realizing his Personal Legend.
